Figure 4. PMK-1 Regulates Basal and Inducible Expression of P. aeruginosa–Induced Genes.
(A) Venn diagram of overlap between genes regulated by PMK-1 and P. aeruginosa.
(B) (C) qRT-PCR analysis of PA14-induced gene expression in wild-type animals and in pmk-1 mutants. Results are the average of two biological replicates, each replicate measured in duplicate and normalized to a control gene. Error bars are SEM.
(D) Diagram of different gene classes regulated by PMK-1 and/or P. aeruginosa. PMK-1 is required for basal and inducible regulations of class A genes. PMK-1 is required for basal, but not inducible expression of class B genes. PMK-1 is required for inducible but not basal expression of class C genes. PMK-1 is required for neither basal nor inducible expression of class D genes. PMK-1 regulates basal expression of class E genes, but these genes are not induced by P. aeruginosa.
